Of course. Let me know if you have any feedback, I'll try to improve.

[ The kitchen here might be automated but it certainly wouldn't be present when they're going for missions, which means she needs to up her proficiency to be prepared. ]

[viscontree]

It's alright. You don't have to do more.

As long as we have food in our stomachs there is no room for complaints.

[She'll be set when they go on a mission together. Julius knows how to mix herbs but not cook. It'll be good to have her around.]

[p66]

[ Then how has he been feeding himself on missions??? ]

Mutsumi-chan once said that food doesn't just feed the person, it feeds the soul too. I think I'm starting to understand what she means.

[ It just isn't the same when a machine makes your food as compared to a real person. A friend. ]

[viscontree]

Ah yes, she is correct. I feel more than just energized after eating your cooking.

Would you care to teach me how it's done?

[p66]

Of course. I can teach you on days when we don't train.

[ She's willing to do it for him but in the slight chance that the become separated, she wants to make sure he's okay. ]

Giorno-san knows a lot about Italian food. Should I ask him to teach you too?

[viscontree]

I would appreciate that. Cooking is a vital skill to have.

I'm severely lacking in cuisine talent. However, I cannot rely on the aid of others such as yourself forever.

[She can't keep pampering him like this. If they go on a mission and he needs to feed himself, what will he do? One time he just stuck with eating raw plants. It wasn't the best idea, but it got him through the day. Knowing cooking will open up opportunities.]

[p66]

[ It's all good. ]

I'll arrange for it, then! Don't worry about it.

[ There's a lot that he needs help with, and she has to juggle her own obligations in addition to that. ]

[viscontree]

I'll leave it on your hands.

Have you eaten Captain Reika? Surely you must be hungry after all that work.

[He's worried about her too you know. ]

[p66]

[ Right!! About that... ]

I had some soup, I'm good.

[ Miso and rice make a good simple meal. ]

[viscontree]

I'm glad to hear it. Don't overdo it okay?

I know you're trying your best.

[But she does have a tendency to overwork herself.]

[p66]

I won't.

[ She can't push herself if she has to set a good example for him. ]

Let's finish up and head back. Could you help me wash the dishes?

[viscontree]

That's an easy task. Alright.

[Julius rolls up his sleeves and heads for the sink. It's the least he can do in return. He's finished it in a matter of minutes. There weren't a lot of dishes to do anyways.]

sticks my leg in here, 1/16 maybe??? text first

[p66]

What do you feel like having for dinner?

[viscontree]

I'll eat something healthy.

Do you want anything specific?

[p66]

Nope. I'll text you once I'm done.

[ And so she does, about an hour later: ]

You can come now!!

[viscontree]

[He arrives looking somewhat confused.]

Are you ready?

[Hopefully she's got everything set up.]

[p66]

[ Of course she has. Spending the first week here learning to cook has paid off... ]

I made dinner!

[ It's beef stew with vegetables and bread. Not quite what Olivia taught her, but she improvised. ]

[viscontree]

Dinner would be great. I am quite hungry.

We shouldn't hold back our appetites when food is readily available.

Did you have trouble? [Not like they cooked all the time while they were back home...]

[p66]

[ Everything's been laid out already so they can eat straight away. ]

Nope. Olivia taught me how to make it.

[ She's almost able to predict when he would be hungry nowadays... not that it's difficult, but. ]

[viscontree]

Olivia is rather talented.

You seem to be making new acquaintances without any trouble.

[She's the same as always.]

[p66]

[ She has to. It's the first thing that she thinks she should do in any new place - network, find out who she can ally with, and the situation at hand. ]

The people here are quite kind.

[ She ladles out some soup for herself and sits down beside the chair meant for him. ]

[viscontree]

They are. I had plenty of help from everyone...including Olivia.

[He nods and accepts the food he's given. Julius looks ready to eat!!]

[p66]

[ It's good that they work together as a team. Some people might be suspicious of the organization's intentions, but she's willing to put trust in them. ]

Okay, let's have dinner.

[ She hopes it's good. ]

[viscontree]

[He quietly eats Reika's home made meal. ]

It's delicious, thank you.

[Her food is perfect. Julius can't remember the last time he's had food actually cooked by someone.]

[p66]

[ Much of the time they spend together is in silence, which she appreciates. Just his presence is enough. ]

I'm glad.

[ She had worried about adding too little seasoning but it seems to be to his taste so all is well. ]
